imperial concubine

Chapter 64 The Relic of the Sea
Half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, the weather is getting warmer, the young leaves on the trees are gradually growing, the flowers in the garden are blooming more colorfully, and people's bloated winter clothes have been changed into spring clothes. The world is full of vigor and vitality. Upward view.

Today's weather is fine, Second Madam invited Third Madam and Su Wan to enjoy the flowers in the back garden.In the back garden of the mighty Marquis Mansion, the flowers are in full bloom and the green leaves are unfolding, which makes people feel refreshed.

Su Wan was wearing a brocade gown with snow-blue cloud patterns, her soft hair was tied up into a unique black bun at the back of her head, and there were gold hairpins with pinched flowers and carved silk inserted in the lightly curled temples, Zhuru followed behind Su Wan step by step, Walk slowly to the garden.

When she came to the pavilion, Su Wan saluted the second lady, "Something happened in the room just now that delayed the time, so please wait for a long time."

Yuan looked at Su Wan and said with a smile: "It's okay. I just saw that the sun is just right today, so please come out to get some air. If you have something to do in your room, just send someone to tell me. My banquet is convenient anytime .”

Hearing Yuan's words, Su Wan chuckled inwardly.It has been half a month since I formed an alliance with the Yuan and Jiang clans, but there has been no movement as I and the Jiang clan have said to promote Su Qing's reputation.

The two sat down, and just after exchanging a few pleasantries, they saw the third wife Jiang coming in from the garden gate, walked to the gazebo, and said with a smile: "My sister-in-law has been waiting for a long time. I just watched my two daughters study in the room, and almost Forget about sister-in-law."

Although Jiang shi didn't know why Yuan shi invited her to enjoy flowers and drink today, but Jiang shi knew in her heart that with Yuan's stingy personality, this meal must not be so delicious, so when she saw Su Wan coming in, she Then came in.

The three of them sat down in the living room, sipping the fine wine in their cups, admiring the beautiful scenery in the garden, and talking nonsense all the time.Talking and talking, after talking for a long time, still didn't talk about the topic Yuan wanted to talk about.

Yuan knew in her heart that the two of them knew why he invited her here, but they didn't want to cooperate with him, so they talked about him.Thinking of this, Yuanshi winked at Xiang'er beside her, and Xiang'er retreated with her maid.

Seeing that all the servants in the pavilion retreated, Yuan raised the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile: "Siblings, niece, there are only three people in this pavilion now, and there is absolutely no fourth person who knows what I said. I opened the skylight." Speak clearly."

Su Wan put down the wine cup in her hand, she just talked a lot of nonsense with Jiang Shi, just waiting for Yuan Shi to speak up.If I talk to Jiang, the effect will not be good, and I will take the initiative to get close to Yuan.

Jiang's eyes glanced at Su Wan lightly, and the two exchanged a look tacitly.Then Jiang said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Why are you kicking out all the maids in such a serious manner?"

Jiang shi naturally knew why Yuan shi was so serious about it, but if she said it, she would take the initiative to cling to Yuan shi.In that case, even if the Yuan clan takes power in the Hou Mansion in the future, I'm afraid they won't get much benefit.

Sitting on the main seat, Mrs. Yuan drank the wine in her glass, and then turned her eyes around Su Wan and Mrs. Jiang, "What do I want to say, don't you two not know? Well, I'll just go straight Having said that, does what we said before still count?"

Hearing that Yuan Shi finally asked what was in his heart, Jiang Shi and Su Wan looked at each other and smiled.The two of them were very clear about what Yuanshi was thinking.It's just that, after all, it's not my business, so why bother to care so much?

After laughing, Su Wan said with a faint smile on his face: "Second aunt, it was just a matter of discussion a few days ago. If you really want Su Qing to compete with Su Lin, will it be accomplished in a short time? It’s a matter of long-term consideration.”

If you want to act, the sooner the better, naturally, if Su Lin becomes bigger in the future, even if Su Qing gains a great reputation, it will be nothing more than a castle in the sky, just looking good.Su Wan naturally understood this truth.However, Yuanshi had to be beaten up before doing anything.

Although the Yuan family is simple-minded and easy to use, but after all, she is also a member of the aristocratic family, if she is not beaten, she will be obedient.In the future, when Su Qing grows bigger and the Yuan Clan takes power, it will only take an instant to turn his face and deny people.

After hearing Su Wan's words, Jiang Shi also echoed with a smile: "Wan'er is very right. Who among the talented people in Beijing can become famous overnight? If something goes wrong in this matter, we can't afford it."

Jiang's heart was the same as Su Wan's. Although she was also from an aristocratic family, compared with the original family, her family was just a small one.Once the Yuan family becomes the master of the Hou Mansion, words don't count, and he has nothing to do with her.

When Yuan heard the plausible words of the two, she couldn't help feeling a little puzzled. Could it be that she was a little too impatient?But half a month has passed, and they have never seen the two come to him to discuss Su Qing's plan to become famous.

Thinking of this, Yuan thought that the two of them regretted it in their hearts. They had agreed to support Su Qing together, but they were a little unwilling in their hearts, so they wanted to delay the matter, so they used these long-term discussions to prevaricate themselves.

Turning her eyes slightly, Yuan thought she had figured out what the two of them were thinking. She slapped her slender hand on the table, and said to the two in a cold voice: "I know that you have regretted it in your heart, but you don't want to think about it. In the future, Su Lin If you become Marquis, I don't need to tell you how Da Furen will treat you, you all have a good idea."

No matter what he does, he still has a son, no matter how badly the eldest lady treats him, it won't be so bad.However, the Jiang family only has two daughters, and Su Wan will marry out of the Hou family in the future. The eldest lady will naturally not be as polite to them as she is to herself.

Seeing that Yuan finally became angry, Jiang smiled slightly, "Second sister-in-law, do you think that only Su Qing can compete with Su Lin, so we can only rely on you?"

Although the Jiang family and Su Wan did not sit together to discuss, they knew in their hearts that with the Yuan family's heart, they would definitely not take the previous alliance to heart after they came to power.Therefore, the two of them had a very tacit understanding and wanted to destroy the prestige of Yuan Clan first, so as not to give advice to her after forgetting who was behind her when Yuan Clan came to power.

There was a sneer on Yuan's face, and he said softly: "Sisters and sisters, Wan'er is young, so you can't figure it out clearly, but you shouldn't be able to figure it out clearly. The Su family has only two children, Su Lin and Qing'er. Apart from me, what else can you do?" Who do you rely on? Do you want to rely on Da Furen?"

I hold the biggest hole card in my hand. Although the two of you are extremely smart, you have never seen the situation clearly!If there is no such card as Su Qing, no matter how subtle your schemes are, the two of you are just flowers in the mirror, moon in the water!
Hearing Yuan's words as the leader of the three, Jiang smiled slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Su Qing is indeed the only one who can compete with Su Lin, but Yuan, don't forget Oh, the elder brother had three wives back then!"

Su Wan, who was sitting on the side smiling, suddenly narrowed his eyes. His father actually had three wives back then?My mother is one, and the eldest lady is one, so who is the other?How come I have never heard of this aunt?
The Yuan family with a sneer on her face suddenly froze in place. She was naturally aware of what happened back then, but it was so long ago that she never imagined that there were three wives in the Su residence back then!
Yuan's complexion suddenly turned pale, his cheeks twitched slightly, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Could it be that you found Mrs. Ru who was kicked out of the house back then? How is this possible? It has been such a long time, how is it possible?" Can you find her?"

At least ten years have passed since that incident, the old people in the mansion have changed a few times, and the Jiang family entered the mansion a few years later than herself, how did she know about this matter?How can I find this person?

Seeing the sudden change in Yuan's complexion, Su Wan knew in her heart that this must happen.It's just that when I was young, I didn't remember such a thing at all.It seems that we have to inquire about the father, the son who lives outside.

In an instant, the host and the guest changed positions.Jiang took a sip of the wine glass in his spare time, and then said softly: "Second sister-in-law, don't forget that Su Qing is only the son of the second brother. Without the help of Wan'er and I, it would be difficult to inherit the Marquis." .”

Yuan's complexion changed a few times, and then a smile appeared on his face, "What do you say, with the help of your younger siblings, isn't it easy for Qing'er to inherit the marquis? In the future, Qinger will ask my younger siblings to raise more points." It is."

The situation was changing so fast, far beyond Yuan's imagination.I thought I had already held the biggest hole card, but I never thought that Jiang Shi would actually hold a bigger hole card than himself!
At this moment, Su Wan on the side said, "Third Aunt, no matter what, Second Aunt has lived with you for such a long time. How can you help outsiders deal with Second Aunt?"

After Jiang's black face was finished, it was natural for Su Wan's red face to appear on stage.After the two took turns to teach Yuanshi, Yuanshi will definitely obey the two of them in the future.

Hearing Su Wan's opening, Jiang knew that his play should end, so he sighed softly and said, "Wan'er, why didn't I know that the second sister-in-law is close? It's just that I am close to her; she may not treat me like that." as a family."

After the lesson, it is natural to move people with emotion.Otherwise, if the Yuan family understands in the future, wouldn't they retaliate against the two even more?Only if you give a sweet date after beating, Yuan will be obedient.

Su Wan heard Jiang Shi's words, turned her head and said to Yuan Shi: "Second Aunt, you really don't know what is right and what is wrong. Third Aunt and I tried our best to help you, but you scolded us as servants. You are already so powerful before taking power, how dare my third aunt and I continue to help you?"

The Yuan family on one side was first threatened by the Jiang family, and then blamed by Su Wan. Thinking about it in his own heart, he did a little too much.The relationship between the two was originally very deep, why did he say those words just now?
Thinking of this, Yuan said with an embarrassing smile, "Wan'er, this is because Second Aunt was confused for a while. However, Second Aunt is really worried about Su Qing. Seeing that you two have lived so long without any movement, it is inevitable that you will talk." It got a little hotter."

Now his son is no longer the biggest hole card, and even becomes dispensable.The two helpers of Jiang and Su Wan were extremely important, and Yuan could only bow his head and apologize to them.

Su Wan sighed softly, looked at the delicacies in front of her and said, "Second Aunt, this matter of fame is just like this cooking, if it is fried quickly, the dish will not be cooked well; if it is cooked slowly , this dish is easy to burn. The heat is very important, and my third aunt and I have been thinking about how to cook it well without burning. I didn't expect that you came to blame us."

In the past half a month, Su Wan naturally did not discuss anything with the Jiang family.It's just that Yuan's mind is simple, such a lie can't be used to deceive others, and it's very safe to deceive Yuan's.

Sure enough, the Yuan family did not doubt that there was him, and immediately believed him.Picking up the wine glass, he smiled shyly at Jiang and said, "Sister-in-law, I was wrong just now, sister-in-law made an apology for you."

After speaking, he drank the wine in the glass, and Jiang just said a few words of complaint, and the two got back together.The atmosphere in the pavilion suddenly became happy again.

Only Su Wan, although smiling on her face, was thinking about what Jiang just said in her heart.
